A CASE of great importance to the future of the valley, has been heard by the hoard of control during the past month. It is the" claim of the California-Oregon Power company to the absolute monopoly of the waters of the Rogue river and its tributaries from Hold Ray to their source. 'Hie power company claims that it is entitled to all the water above Gold Ray, because it is using all the water of the stream at low stage for its power plant at Gold Ray. It is disputing the water rights of the ranchers who are tisimr water for irritrafinn mirnoscs. It is understood. however, that it is willing recoirnizini 1T these exist nur Tiirhts providing its title to all the water is officially recognized. Tim nffYir. nf fine vniftmiWinn wmilil lut t. irivi Mm v .v power company tho monopoly of the river, stop the use of all water for irrigation purposes except as the right was sold or recognized by the power company, and effect ually fheck the development of the country which is large Jv dependant upon more or less extensive use of this water in Sams Valley and other districts needing irrigation. The power company also asserts that it is entitled to the use of all the water at Prospect, because its Prospect plant is now using a small part of the water, but stands VPililv to 11Si it Jill worn w i!irLot I'm ire nnwui' iiv.mi Initio. - -- - -- - --- - t. - -- . a v u -a. v a. -a ?

Capital te entitled to a fair return upon investment. I5ut the California-Oregon Power company has floated a ton million dollar bond issue upon its properties, including its rights on the Rogue, Klamath and other streams, which indicates that its securities are largely watered in other words, it has discounted tho fntnro. "rnwrli mi1 nnviiinir capacity of the country to make the consumers pay inter est, on unearned increment.

Of course this power will not be needed for years to come, will not be developed until needed but the company seeks to bottle up this resource for all futurity. The Gold Ray plant has been used principally as an CmerceilCV plant Since tho. Prospect, ulnnf. wns iitctnllorl It generates but 3500 horse-power, whereas the Prospect plant generates S,000 IT. P. and can be increased to -10,000, wiuui snows mat save ior emergency purposes, the Uold Ray plant is useless. The claim that because this plant's capacity is all of the water at low stage, it is entitled to all the water above, is preposterous. Its recognition to this right would be a blight on the valley. The Rogue river is almost tile only stream flowing through a valley needing irrigation, whose waters are not used generally for development of the vallev bv irrigation. Until this water is so used, the vallev will be" comparatively undeveloped. 'Its use will make for greater population, givuicc prosperity aud incidentally, greater ,use of elec tricity.

Yet it is apparently short-sighted enough to fol low a doer in the inaniror policy. The claim of the power company except at Prospect, has been contested only by the present users of water in the small ditches now in existence. The water that will be needed in the future has no claimants at presentthere fore no contest is .made except for a small fraction of the water. Should these present small users be recognized as they probably will be, the only other claimant, the power company, will probably be confirmed in its claims which would be disastrous for the community. Before final decision on this question, the board of control should hold a public hearing in which the commun ity will be given a chance to demonstrate its rights to the nver for future users as against the claims of a single cor poration.
